I have dedicated my life to raising children and making a difference in their lives. I began babysitting when I was a teenager, but my love for children was redefined when I became a parent. I have numerous years of experience in the preschool setting, so I appreciate the formalities and qualities of such an environment and will offer the same to your family while maintaining the comfort and care that only a home based preschool can truly give. Staying home with my children has been the greatest decision I have ever made. I know it has changed their lives as well as mine. Being able to give a hug when needed, comfort on a sick day, hands on playtime and craft times as well as teaching my little ones basic academics has been so special. I want to share that security and peace of mind with your family too!

A Mother's Hand is an in home day care that desires to care for your infant, toddler and preschooler. At A Mother's Hand our primary goal is school readiness both academically and behaviorally. I utilize music, song, dance, art and imagination to create learning experiences. I find utilizing these modalities makes learning easy and fun for children. I also focus on building self esteem and personal accomplishments. By employing our curriculum, our children will utilize performance and effort to achieve their goals. We, as a day care will then celebrate these achievements. Through recognition of these accomplishments children will see their efforts are worthwhile, therefore building self esteem. Children with special needs are welcome. I particularly enjoy working with children who have cognitive impairments. I have had extensive training and hands on experience working with children who have developmental disabilities. Working with this population has always been a positive for me. I am qualified to care for your children due to the fact I am a mother and I have two accomplished grown children. As a teen, I cared for my family members and neighborhood children. As an adult, I was employed within day care facilities, as a child care provider. I am also a licensed Social Worker with a Master's Degree. My main concentration when I worked in the social work field was children. My goal was to improve the quality of their lives. I believe I did just that. My experiences within the social work field along with my direct hands on experiences as a child care provider will only benefit the work I do with the children within my in home day care. I love children and I want to be a catalysis to spring board them into the next positive phase in their lives. I am motivated to provide a safe, challenging enriching educational environment for your child. I have the skills to provide the quality care parents require for their children. I am also First Aid and CPR certified.

Hi Parents, I'm Melissa. I have two kids, my son, who is 5, and my daughter is 7 months old. I have been a stay-at-home mom for the past 5 years, and have provided childcare in my home during that time, but I have a combined 10 years of childcare experience. We love the outdoors, creative learning, reading, art, music, science, gardening, and traveling. We are also bilingual English/Spanish, and I have obtained a certificate in Deaf studies from Columbus State which has enabled me to learn conversational ASL on a basic level, therefore I'm happy to incorporate ASL and Spanish as part of our daily activities. Since we feel strongly about the impact food has on our health I'm also willing to provide organic snacks/meals for parents who are interested, and gluten free food for children who are gluten intolerant. I know how difficult it can be to trust that your sweet babies will be taken care of while you are away, so I try my best to keep parents informed about all of our daily activities. I also like to regularly take pictures that I can send to parents at the end of each month. We have a good sized, clean, smoke-free, pet-free home, full of safe toys. We also have a finished basement that is baby safe, and a large fenced-in back yard where your kids can swing, garden, play in sprinklers, or jump on our (low to the ground, spring free, and netted) trampoline. If you're interested in seeing our home, and meeting our family, please message me! Thanks!

I am a wife and mother of two children. My 6 year old son is in school and my 1-year-old daughter stays with me during the day. Having a family of my own, I am very experienced in childcare. I also grew up in a home that had an in-home daycare, so I've been taking care of children for many years. I like for my home to be clean and comfortable to live in and to have a fun, safe space for kids to play. I am looking to care for a child during the week while my son is in school. I have flexible hours, Monday-Friday. My husband drops our son off, but I pick him up everyday at 3:30, so I would need to be able to have the child ride with me to the school if I am caring for the child during that time. The school is right down the road, so it's not a far drive. I am extremely flexible and I would ask the same in return. I love caring for children and I enjoy making their day the best it can be! If you have any questions, please ask. I am looking to start soon!

Hi, my name is Diana Jackson. I am dedicated to providing quality child care for children of all ages. I am 29 years old. I am CPR certified. My husband and I have five beautiful children, (boys 9 and 4) (girls 11, 8 and 3.) I have always loved being a care giver and started babysitting in my neighborhood at the age of 12. I received my first Family Child Care license in February 2014 and opened Creative Cubs while my husband was stationed in England with the US Air Force. I received monthly training and completed child care modules through the FCC program. I was able to care for many children from 6 weeks to 10 years old before moving to Ohio in October 2015. Within a couple of days I was hired and started working in the toddler room at Over the Rainbow Children's Center in Pataskala. I love working with all the children in my class 18 months to 3 years old. I have been able to organize the room and bring in many new fun learning activities. Now that we've found our new home in Grove City, I am reopening Creative Cubs. I'm excited to move back to in home day care and be able to have more one on one time with each child. I keep portfolio's and journals for each child, base lesson plans on children's needs and evaluate each child on milestones and prekindergarten skills. I focus on keeping a safe, healthy, and fun environment for kids to learn and play. I believe that making learning fun and providing unique experiences is the best way to teach young children. Meals will be provided for all children eating table food. I'm available 6am - 6pm Monday through Saturday. I'm also provide babysitting services nights and weekends. Check out my facebook page (www.facebook.com/creativecubsfcc) for more information about me and my program. Thank you for considering Creative Cubs, I look forward to hearing from you.

All children in my home receive plenty of love and attention from me while developing social skills and relationships with the other children. Activities that we often have are crafts, gardening, imaginative play, school prep, reading and dancing! We have many developmental toys and books for children of all ages, as well as baby equipment on hand. I am comfortable with assisting in potty training, getting and keeping children adhered to a reasonable schedule and homework. From 2005-2009 I worked as a Certified Patient Care Technician. Have had CPR training many times since 2005 but my license does need renewed this year. I have over 13 years of combined experience in elderly and child care. Thanks to my beautiful children, I am comfortable with multiples and am learning more about children with autism.

Hello! My name is Katlyn. I'm 29 years old and I have spent the last 10 years working in the healthcare field, but after the recent birth of our youngest daughter, we decided it was time for me to stay at home. I babysat and nannied from the age of 12 until 20 when I was in nursing school. Though I had decided nursing wasn't for me I remained in healthcare and I have worked in a variety of fields including pediatrics. We are both fully vaccinated due to our work in healthcare. We live in a very safe and family friendly neighborhood here in Grove City. We have a large, kid friendly home including alarms on the front and back doors for additional safety and we have no pets. We have two playrooms filled with toys and a large back yard! Our home is full of love and laughter and we enjoy playtime both inside and outside and also story time with our vast accumulation of books! We know how hard it is to find childcare particularly early in the morning and I'm hoping that I can help you!
